The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild feline may be in Africa. It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus and was firstly described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slender, medium-sized cat that stands 54-62 cm( 21-24 in) at the shoulder and weighs 9-18 kg( 20-40 lb ). It is characterised by a small psyche, big ears, a golden-yellow to buff hair spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its mas size .

Active in the day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes build highly overlapping residence ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and label them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), small-minded birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval employs its sense of hearing to situate the prey; to kill small-scale prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the ground to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the neck or the honcho. Mating takes neighbourhood at different times of the year in different parts of their range, but commonly once or twice a year in a region. After a gestational reporting period two to three months, a litter of one to four is abide. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The youths leave their mother at 12 months .

The serval opts areas with plow such as reeds and towering grass and proximity to sea mass, such as wetlands and savannah. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but widespread in south Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) classifies the serval as least concern. It occurs in protected areas across its scope, and chase of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
